feet

Did horse feet today. I knew Elena was going to be a tough catch and she didn't disappoint. I took some feed out and she and Diego came right up to eat. Only Elena wouldn't even let me put a rope on her neck. I haltered Diego an d walked toward home. Elena sort of followed. I had trouble getting her over the electric fence. I circled way back around but by the time I got away she walked out on her own. Now she was totally out of any confinement and that had me a little concerned. I put Diego in with the other horses and after some running around Elena went in. She immediately took off running taking the other horses with her. Eventually I somewhat cornered her because the other horses said it's hot we're not running anymore. Elena and I understand perfectly what it takes to catch her. She knows I'll put my body on front of hers so she would have to run over me to get by. She also knows exactly how fast I can get to that spot. We worked for quite awhile until I had her where the only was she could get away was by running over me. Then she gave up and caught easily. In the running around Rory messed up his cut a little but I don't think it's serious.
